i'm surprised at the reaction to donnie's effort to characterize a hillary win as illegitimate

this is the party that greeted obama's first joint speech to congress with "you lie".

this is the party that followed it in the next state of the union speech with "not true".

this is the party that spent the time and effort to pointlessly attempt to repeal obama's signature law.
more than 60 times, knowing it had zero chance in hell of every ultimately succeeding.

this is the party that questioned obama's citizenship.

this is the party that spent the time and effort to run investigation after investigation into complete non-scandals such as benghazi and emails.

this is the party that broke the record for refusing to even consider a nominee to the supreme court.


and donnie was at the forefront of much of this, particularly the questioning of the legitimacy of obama's presidency.


*of course* he and the republican party are going to stonewall and complain and deny anything and everything they can for the first woman president, just as they did for the first black president.


so he acknowledged as much during the debate.

and we're shocked and surprised?

really?

have we not been paying attention?

He wasn't merely going to delegitiimize Hillary via accusations of vote rigging, etc. Buried within those same comments are the "real" way he is going to do so towards HRC, thereby deflecting his loss-- specifically that she was ineligible to run in the first place due to her supposed "email crimes" or other assorted accusations. His moronic, hate-filled (yes bushel-basket full of deplorables)-- truly unable or unwilling to think for themselves-- will eat it up.

call it birther 2.0 or whatever. really, though, they've been trying to delegitimize hillary for over 25 years.
